How to access the current URL using JavaScript

Many times we need to access current URL of browser using Javascript. Suppose if there is URL like http://www.example.com/guest/index.aspx , now you can access this URL in different pieces as below

alert(window.location.protocol); // display "http:"
alert(window.location.host); // display “www.example.com"
alert(window.location.pathname); // display "guest/example.aspx"

You can get the complete and full URL by concatenating all these different parts

var currentURL = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + "/" + window.location.pathname;
